IN DEATH OF SIX TOTS
Paper Clogged Flue, False Alarm,

Death. East Side Movie House
Scene of the Tragedy.
New York, Nov. 14-A paper clogged
furnace flue which caused smoke to
fill the Catherine theatre, a motion
picture house in the East Side Italian
(qtarter raised a cry of "fire" late to
day and in the ensuing panic six tots,
between the ages of 2 to 10 years,
were trampled to death. Twelve oth
ers were se:,iously injured. The little
theatre was crowded to calpacity.
Children filled most of the 300 seats,
for the hero of the picture was an
Italian who rose from humble sur
roundings like theirs to riches and
fame.
The youngsters were absorbed in the
presentation of the screen hero Pietor,
who was protecting his father from
thieves, when smoke began to seep
through the cracks of the treatre floor.
"M1y God; It's a firs.'
This shout came from "an elderly
woman who gathered a little one un
(er her arm and ran for the nearest
exit. Immediately loud walls arose,
Children began to cry. They jtmped
fron-their seats, jammed the aisles
and fought for passage 'the igihts

A police station nearby also was
crowded with those seeking informa

vletfins soon were identified, but the
excitement attending the latie kept
children from returning to their homes
and liany women fought for admit
tance to the theatre, believing their
missing children still might be there.
Ilernard Wcinberg and Max
Schwartz, proprietors of the theatre
were taken to the iolice station and
later uiestioned by the (listrict attor

theatre last week and had been oper

theatre was locked.

J. C .Arnold Obtained For Trifling Sum
an Asset for Which Millionaire Had
Offered a Million.
J. C. Arnold, printer and linotype
operator, of Huntington, W. Va., has,
he says,-the distinction of putting one
over on the country's greatest oil mag
nate. In an interview Mr. Arnold tells
the full details in a most interesting
manner.
"About a year and a halt ago," says
Mr. Arnold, "I began having attacks
of stomach trouble, which continued
,getting worse until my liver and kid
neys were so affected that I was
forced to quit work. ].had been work
Ing night shift on an Akron paper and
shifted to day work, thinking a change
of hours 'would hehp me, bet withott

ually, and had first one doctor and
then another, but kept getting worse.
Every time a friend suggested a rem
edy I tried it, until at last some one
recommended The Reese Formula
R-11. idfy this time I had given up
hopes out began taking The Reese For

fore finishing the third bottle I was
completely restored.' I am working
and feel better than I have for many
years."
"The Reese Formula R-11," contin
,ued Mr. Arnold, "cost me a dollar and.
a quarter a bottle and considering the
fact that a millionaire oil magnate of
fered a million dollars for a relief
from stomach trouble I thnk I am
some financier.
"But then people don't think they*
can get relief unless it is expensive..
All I can say is that it only cost one
dollar and twenty-fivo cents, the
price of The Reese Formula R-11, to,
relieve stomach trouble, for my case
has proven it."
The Reese Formula fR-11 is sold by
all druggists in Laurens and vicinity
and is being demonstrated atPutnam's
Drug Store and Laurens Drug Co.
Anyone. sufferfing from indigestion,.
nervousness, rheumatism, backache,
lumbago, sour stomach, heartburn,
urinary, kidney or liver troubles of
any kind will do well to stop in at this
store today and talk over their case
with The Reese Formula Company's
representative. It does not cost one
penny to do this and you are under
